A Your Co-op Food store in Steventon, Oxfordshire has reopened its doors two months after an accidental fire tore through the store in September.

Part of the Midcounties Co-operative, the store was stripped back to the walls with all flooring, ceiling, shelving, fridges and freezers being replaced.


It’s also reopened early this month with a new layout and range of produce.

“A massive thank you to all of those who were involved in helping us reopen our Steventon store so quickly. It’s been a huge effort and it’s been great to hear such positive feedback already on our new layout and product range,” Lewis Broyd, store manager, said.

“We know our store has been massively missed by our local members and customers, just as much as we’ve missed them! We’re so pleased to be back serving the local community and welcoming them back.”

The store celebrated its reopening with ribbon cutting and a special visit from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue who attended to the fire. As a gesture of thanks, a hamper was also presented to the crew by Broyd and the store team.
